Xtreme Desserts opened just a few weeks ago in Studio City, bringing unique flavors and guilty pleasures to Angelenos with a sweet tooth. The bakery specializes in the cookie sandwich, though it makes other sweets--like brownies and cakes--as well. "I've basically been making my favorite desserts into a cookie sandwich," owner Glenn Panitz says of his signature item, "and we are constantly recreating desserts. Like right now I've got a chocolate malt cake, and some of our newer cookie sandwiches are the Strawberry Lemonade and the Peppermint Patty."
Panitz started making desserts for his poker buddies about four years ago and his passion soon evolved into a business venture. He began selling his desserts online and at other locations around town, so even before he set up permanent shop on Ventura Boulevard, his desserts already had a bit of a following in LA. Stars like Ray Ramano have been known to indulge in some of Xtreme's baked goods, and Panitz tells us Lakers coach Phil Jackson's favorite cookie is the Pecan Pie Maple. Panitz says the shop's signature cookie--and its most popular--is the Red Velvet Cookie, which sandwiches cream cheese frosting between two red velvet cookies sandwich with cocoa and cinnamon crumble on top. To check out some of the other goodies available at Xtreme Desserts, see the slideshow below.
